Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 803 - 527: Layers of Surprises (Part 2)

The arguing continued endlessly.

At this moment, suddenly news broke out that Zhou Yun had secured two Best Actress nominations for the 55th Lingjun Award with "Behind the Scenes" and "Life," and a Best Supporting Actress nomination with "Warm Little Horse."

At the same time, "Behind the Scenes" also received the most nominations at the 55th Lingjun Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director nomination for Xue Qin, Best Actor nomination for You Jiang, Best Actress nomination for Zeng Lili, Best Supporting Actress nomination for Wang Jing, Best Newcomer Award nomination for Wang Jing, Best Original Screenplay nomination for Xue Qin, Best Editing Award and other eight nominations.

Being one of the three major film awards in the country, the authority of the Lingjun Award is beyond a doubt.

The announcement shocked everyone.

Someone exclaimed: Is Zhou Yun going crazy at this Lingjun Award?

Three nominations! That’s three nominations!

Zhou Yun’s name, along with the Lingjun Award, explosively swept through every corner of the internet.

The previous doubts about Zhou Yun also disappeared one after another.

With such momentum, who dares to say she’s not qualified?

This has made history!

He Yong was stunned when he got the news. Who could imagine securing two Best Actress and one Best Supporting Actress nominations at one Lingjun Award? Even in dreams, one wouldn’t dare to dream like this.

In fact, regarding the Lingjun Awards, Chengqian Entertainment hadn’t done any PR work for this award.

Yet Zhou Yun managed to clinch three nomination trophies purely on her own strength.

For a moment, He Yong wondered, are this year’s actresses that weak? So weak that Zhou Yun alone could secure three nominations!

While feeling shocked, he called Zhou Yun to congratulate her, but ended up making several calls that didn’t get through.

Zhou Yun’s phone was probably blowing up with calls.

Not just Zhou Yun’s phone, but Zhou Lan’s phone was also getting bombarded.

The announced nomination list of the Lingjun Awards surprised everyone, including Zhou Lan herself.

Zhou Lan knew Zhou Yun would definitely get a nomination, but could never imagine Zhou Yun would get so many nominations, which left her dumbfounded. What delighted her even more was that Wang Jing, still a newcomer, also secured two nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Newcomer Award. In fact, it could be said that she, as an agent, was the biggest beneficiary of the Lingjun Award this time.

Many collaborators sent her messages to congratulate her.

— Congratulations, Sister Lan, you’re amazing. You must treat us!

— Sister Lan, congratulations, congratulations! About that collaboration we talked about last time, do you think Xiao Jing has time to participate?

— Xiao Lan, you could say you’re the best agent in the entertainment industry now, discovering both Zhou Yun and Wang Jing. Your foresight is really sharp!

...

The immense surprise arrived in her life, and Zhou Lan hardly felt the reality of it.

After answering the calls, seeing the phone’s battery was under 20%, Zhou Lan turned off her phone directly and plugged it into a power bank.

She needed to calm down a bit now.

So, seeing a café by the roadside, she parked her car in a temporary spot and went into the café, ordering herself an iced Americano.

The café’s air conditioning was set quite high.

Zhou Lan took her coffee and sat at an empty table to calm herself down.

No matter how great the surprise, it wasn’t worth losing her mind over.

There is a saying, "joy brings sorrow," a phrase she often wondered about as a child, why joy would lead to sorrow. It wasn’t until growing up that she understood—because joy causes people to forget to be cautious, making wrong steps, thereby leading to sorrow.

Right now, Zhou Yun was forging ahead without hesitation, unmatched in momentum. Not just among her peers, but among actresses in general, there hasn’t been anyone in the past two years who could match her.

It’s not that other actresses aren’t good, it’s just that Zhou Yun’s performance these past two years has been so outstanding, that even the brilliant Milky Way can’t overshadow her shine.

In comparison, Wang Jing’s otherwise impressively excellent film debut now seemed somewhat overshadowed.

Zhou Lan sat in the café pondering alone for about ten minutes, calming her emotions, and then turned her phone back on.

The first thing she did was lay out the plan in the work group:

1. Monitor the public opinion dynamics on major online forums 24 hours a day, responding and processing them promptly.

2. Temporarily put aside interviews from media with no long-term cooperation, compile and send me documents for interviews with media having long-term cooperation.

3. Carefully scrutinize all new commercial cooperation invitations; there will be a lot recently, and we must not be careless—better to take it slow.
